Ready to run!

I am so ready to go on a run, lift weights or do a work out video and break into a decent sweat. I am 36 weeks 2 days and have gained 40 pounds and feel so gross! Due to bleeding throughout my first trimester I was limited to just walking and once things improved during my 2nd trimester my body felt weakened due to 12 weeks of no exercise so I haven't done anything but walking. I was a size four before pregnancy and hope that the weight is going to come off! I am going to breastfeed so I don't know what type of cardio I will be able to do without losing too much weight and interferring with my milk production Has anyone had any experience with this?

Me too!!! It's been driving me crazy. I was getting back in shape when I got pregnant. I had terrible morning sickness, but was still determined and was doing as much as I could. Then at 25 weeks, all hell broke loose and I haven't been able to do anything! I can't wait!!!! It's times like these that make me never want to take being healthy for granted again.

I feel like I wrote this post!!! I was the same exact way, very athletic prior to pregnancy, continued working out then I started bleeding because my placenta wasnt fused and by the time I could workout again, I was so out of my routine. It really sucks!! I can't wait to start working out again. At my last doc appt I had gained almost 35 lbs. :( so depressing!!!

I did! I gained 60 pounds with my first. I ran a marathon 6 weeks pregnant, stopped running and didn't stop eating. Don't recommend that btw... :) But as soon as I delivered within a few days I was taking slow walks and then after six weeks I was exercising like normal. Started back into lifting weights, run/walking until it was comfortable to run again. I EBF and had no issues with supply. I dropped all the weight in 6 months and was pregnant again. It felt so good to lose the weight and I felt great! Soon you'll be pumping the iron and hitting the pavement. Really just take it easy the first 6 weeks, you're body will thank you and then go for it!

I am so with you on this, when I started trying to get pregnant I was training for a half marathon, didn't think it would happen on the first try. I was a size 4/6 and was up to 16km runs, the fatigue of pregnancy just was to much, and although I have tried it's like what gym. I am up like 50 pds and need to loose it quick.

That is the number one thing I look forward to not being pregnant anymore. The endorphins of a hard workout is so addictive! I am used to the nice shoulders back, tight tummy, and strong bubble butt..in nine months flat it all turned to a soft, dimply extra fifty pounds!!! :(. Waaaa!!!

I'm ready for my hard workouts too. I'm looking forward to pushing myself all over again. I was big into obstacle course races with my husband and ready for our first one in June. Those that haven't seen the thread about getting body back after baby there was a facebook group started for support. If interested find me bonnymcole@gmail.com and I'll add you to the group. A little motivation and support never hurt anyone.

I am so happy I read this post! Pre pregnancy I was 125, toned, thin and so healthy! I had a great early morning workout routine that has now gone to nothing! My first trimester I was so fatigued I couldn't do anything except walk, second was o.k. I was able to do light weights but now, at week 35 I've gained 44 pounds, am so swollen and feel like a whale! I cannot WAIT to reclaim my body! I'm so eager to get those intense workouts back into my life... Pregnancy has def made me appreciate being health... I just hope I lose all this weight!

That is the first thing I want to do after having this baby! I am a national figure competitor, and was training for my 10th competition when I got pregnant. I was so lean when I got pregnant that I am surprised that it even happened. ( truly a miracle :)) Due to my rigorus training, my doctor made me stop doing any weight lifting or cardio so that I could get healthy really quick. I actually was released to start doing cardio again in my 2nd trimester. Working out has been my second job for over 15 years, and it has been a HUGE change to just stop.... but it is definietly worth it!
